FLASH!!! Dougie Proves That He Is Lighter Than Air!!!
On Friday, April 18, 2008 Believe It Or Not, the Goodyear Blimp took off with Dougie, the Big Fat Buoy, as he is affectionately called, inside!  Here are some pics that he took from that flight. There are also pictures of the landing so he can't be blamed for crashing it! Enjoy!

So there you have it. Dougie's Goodyear Blimp ride documented by photographs. We don't know if they have air sick baggies in the gondola or if they were used. All we know is that Dougie went up, and Dougie came down! But he was lighter than air for one time in his life! As Randy Jackson of American Idol would say: "You go dawg"!
